Ok,
LEDengins are rated minimum at 700ma. Nominal 1000ma, max (pulsed) 1500ma
That saber is running at 1A with a battery pack that says 900mah but really spec'd out at about 800mah. It is running two dice in series at 1A
Lets not forget the 1W speaker, and the CF take like 300ma to run. So you are using roughly 1300ma WITHOUT FOC.
So.....
if the batteries actually had a capacity of 1000mah, which they don't because unfortunately there are no 1000mah 14500s out there yet, Gods how I wish there were. The saber would last roughly 45-50 minutes, close to an hour with heavy pulse. Exactly what it was getting before pulse was removed, even without having 1000mah batteries. They only have a capacity of 800mah though, so you are going to only get about 61.5% of an hour with no pulse settings on the saber, hence 36 minutes give or take.
Add back in pulse settings and you'll stretch that a bit.
